Jake Jolibois - Deadliest Catch Deckhand

For those of you who visit the blog often I'm sure you've figured out Captain Andy Hillstrand is my favorite Captain. Well I thought I would introduce you to my favorite deckhand Jake Jolibois. Jake has worked off and on as a deckhand on the Kodiak. He most recently took the Cornelia Marie from Ketchikan to Kodiak and did some work on her. He doesn't get a lot of airtime on Deadliest Catch but I found him on Twitter and what a load of fun!

If you don't follow Jake Jolibois on Twitter and Facebook, you really should. We have such a blast on Twitter. He is one of the few who takes the time to really talk to his fans. One night he even invited me to his house to watch the show with him. How cool is that? If I wasn't on the opposite side of the map from him, you know I would have been there. Yes he actually has fans of Deadliest Catch get together to watch the show with him.

Deadliest Catch - Unemployment And Cut Backs Hit The Bering Sea

Well the Cornelia Marie released a statement today confirming some of the rumors and some of my suspicions.

The Cornelia Marie it appears will not be fishing for Red King Crab this season. Josh and Jake Harris will be deckhands on other vessels as I had earlier posted. The rumors on that one were everywhere.

Troy "Chief" Huls will continue working on the tug.

Commercial Fishermans Festival, Astoria Oregon, Deadliest Catch

The Commercial Fisherman's Festival was this past weekend in Astoria, Oregon and many of our Deadliest Catch boys were there.

Jake Jolibois, Jake Anderson, Jake Harris, Josh Harris, Captain Tony Lara, Troy Huls, Scotty Hillstrand, Neil Hillstrand, Edgar Hansen and Adam McCalden I think I spotted Dale Pruitt and heard that Capt Keith was there. I'm sure I probably missed some that attended but these were the people I could pick out of photos. LOL

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 9 Recap Sea Change

"Sea Change"

The sea is certainly changing. We've got crew changes and sea changes with the hurricane coming.

Here we go. Opie season begins. We have a new song at the beginning, and clips of the crews at the bar, the crew, saying hello or good bye to their family. More clips of Captain Keith putting hands on someone pushing him down the hallway, looks like he's ready to punch him, maybe Art Peterson or possibly Monty Colburn, hard to say from the short clip. Lenny Lekanoff getting stitches. Someone getting smacked in the face with the crane hook, Sig Hansen is screaming at the crew to get down as a big wave crashes aboard the Northwestern. A clip of Mike Fourtner with blood coming from his the bridge of his nose. He must be the one that got hit with the crane hook. Then a clip of  Freddie Maughtai with blood all over his face and in his mouth. Knowing Freddie he was probably eating something and got the blood all over himself.

Troy Huls "Chief" - Engineer On Cornelia Marie

Troy Huls or "Chief" is one of the new engineer/deckhands aboard the Cornelia Marie.

Troy knew Tony Lara when Tony was Captain Phil Harris' engineer. He has fished since 1986, wow, that's twenty-five years. Troy says he doesn't like fish or crab and doesn't eat it. I think I would feel the same way too if I was on a fishing boat all the time.
